The festival will be fundraising for three main charities: Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal, Jessie May Hospice at Home and Almondsbury Parish Hall & Recreation Ground.

Co-founder Garth Jackson said: “After running mini festivals on site for the last four years, we’ve decided to take things a step further and host our most ambitious venture yet, a three day extravaganza of music, arts and entertainment on the 6th, 7th and 8th September, 2024.

“Each day is curated by Almondsbury Creative, the local business at the heart of the festival site. From party starters Doreen Doreen taking the helm on Friday night to Tenille Arts and Kezia Gill headlining a full day of americana on the Saturday, there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes.

“It’s been a long journey to get to this point and we’re very excited for all the opportunities the festival can provide for the local community. Much of the proceeds will go to supporting charities, clubs and societies in the area, including the Almondsbury Parish Hall.”

Tickets start at £10 (plus booking fees) for children and £20 (plus booking fees) per adult and can be booked here.
